In Bowling Green’s 88-76 win over Niagara, two players for the Orange and Brown formed a dynamic duo to propel the Falcons to victory: Tristan Beckford and Makhi Leach. Beckford and Leach combined to score 42 of BG’s 88 points, with Beckford scoring 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting and Leach scoring 19 points on 8-for-13 shooting. “Their energy and effort are off the charts, very active, very efficient, you’ll take those numbers all day,” said head coach Todd Simon. “Which is what they do in practice, so it’s not a surprise for us.” Beckford added 10 rebounds to his successful scoring night, finishing his game with a double-double. The 6-foot-7 guard/forward recorded more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds, with 6 offensive boards. “It comes from my teammates pushing me in practice; they’re boxing me out, making me find ways to hustle and grab rebounds,” said Beckford when asked about his rebounding versus Niagara.
